I know many people disagree with me, but you know what: I'm perfectly fine with these free games policy.because fuck developers ... they only care about getting people to use their shitty store

Naturally, this is done to get people to use the store.
But, the developers are getting paid (and agreed to it), and people are getting free games, I really see nothing wrong with that.
Why worry about the developers/publishers, when they agreed to do it in the first place?
In fact, if there's anyone to be upset with, it should be the developers and publishers who agree to do this.
I mean, I was looking to buy the Samurai Shodown from SNK on Steam. With the game being available a week early, for free, elsewhere, I naturally hesitate to spend that money on a purchase, when SNK seems really uninterested in getting my money.
Yeah cause they just can't pull steam users, they throwing all the $$$ they can rofl.Im not gonna get mad at free games, but Epic should also not get mad at me for not spending money in their store. Everything will be free apparently.
I understand, lashman, but businesses are about making money.it's not really about that ... it's more about the fact that all those devs/publishers that ARE getting paid for doing this are essentially fucking it up for all those that aren't (which is, like, the vast majority)
Free games are something great.
Let's not think otherwise, just because it's a shitty company footing the bill.![]()

Are you serious? LOLSoo the "handsome collection" that is free includes none of the dlc that the steam version does?!?! What a rip-off.
They literally copy pasted the steam description without pasting the asterisk explanation.it says
All bonus add-on content, adding hundreds of hours of gameplay at an incredible value*
but no further explanation what the * means
you can delete your posts, you knowlol

You can't seriously expect these developers and publishers to be thinking if they are screwing other developers in the process.
By and large they are also screwing themselves in the future, aren't they?
I do now xDyou can delete your posts, you knowlol
Reminder that the first Samsho season pass was free on console launch. PC gets to pay 50 usd for a year old game with unplayably bad online and has to buy all the DLC.
SNK made the right move in whoring this game out to every deal that showed up. This is beyond sending it to die, this is choking the game with a pillow and then collecting life insurance money afterwards.
EGS gives games away for free. Why even spend a cent on there?Came back from a friend. I helped him to buy and build his first gaming PC two weeks ago.
He bought Control on EGS as his first RTX game and complained about constant stuttering. So I visited him today to see if it is something I'm able to fix.
As a matter of fact I was by uninstalling EGS. Game still doesn't need the launcher and runs smoothly now.
Told him to only get free games on there, as the launcher is not good enough to spend money on it imo.
He agreed.
I'm a bad person.

I'm not telling people how to spend their money. They are working for it, not me.
All I can do is to recommend to not use that thing. If he still wants to buy from there, there is nothing I'm willing to do about it.
Just thought that it was interesting how uninstalling the EGS client fixed his (rather prominent) stuttering issues.
That's interesting, can you elaborate about the kind of stuttering we are talking about? Was it about running any game while the launcher was active in the background?
He only complained about Control, so it was the only thing that I checked.
I'd describe it as typical micro stutters while moving around. It was pretty noticeable, obvious and rather annoying. So I checked the frametime graph in MSI Afterburner and there were indeed sudden spikes, in an otherwise flat graph. After a couple of troubleshoot steps like removing the GPU oc, checking if GeForce Experience is recording & uninstalling GeForce Experience for good, checking if Windows Game DVR is recording, checking if all memory is there etc. I finally remembered that Control is supposed to run without the EGS Client. Uninstalling the launcher fixed the stuttering for good.
EGS does run on Unreal yes.Didn't some one post that the EGS uses Unreal Engine and a good amount of system resources because of that? Maybe I'm mis-remembering.
It runs on Unreal? WTF.
Even as wide reaching the unreal engine is, low foot print web apps is not something it was designed for, so you get issues like thatThat in itself isn't abnormal. An engine is a lot of stuff, including UI and front end components. That shouldn't be an issue in theory.
I honestly would like to know what the precise cause was because this isn't the first time I've heard of the EGS launcher hurting performance. This is a bit too broad a statement and I don't think that thing's memory footprint is that enormous.Even as wide reaching the unreal engine is, low foot print web apps is not something it was designed for, so you get issues like that

Unlike its list of missing features compared to Steam.

I think they do to some extent but I couldn't give you the particulars. Python is almost certainly supported as a scripting language but that's all I know.Does unreal engine support Ruby/Python/CSS/Javascript? It actually may explain why they've been so slow adding features.
A lot of them have plugins built for the engine, but arent enabled by defaultDoes unreal engine support Ruby/Python/CSS/Javascript? It actually may explain why they've been so slow adding features.
